你如何定义正念?
I define 正念 by being in the moment and in the flow. 正念 takes one to a place of serenity and calm.
你把什么样的活动和技巧融入到你的正念课程中呢? 您是否观察到由于实施这些实践而产生的任何显著的积极变化或影响?
Some activities students do in 正念 class are breathing techniques, thinking about their thinking and doing various types of meditations.
学生们注意到，在做了冥想之后，他们感觉不一样了，感觉更平静了. 在社交场合，当学生感到压力时，他们会更有意识地考虑在做出反应之前暂停一下. Students know they have options before responding.
对于那些希望将更多的正念融入课堂实践的教育工作者来说，有哪些实用的建议?
我的第一个建议是，在课程开始时先从小事做起，先了解一下学生的感受和他们的想法.
Next, 它有助于让学生在开始上课前在黑板上集中“正念时刻”，让学生冷静下来. These moments take about 1 minute to do. My third recommendation is to play background music to calm students.
Outside of your teaching responsibilities, 什么追求或活动能给你带来最大的幸福感和满足感?
给我带来最大幸福感和满足感的活动是与家人在一起和到大自然中去. There is something about being outside and active that centers me.
Is there anything else you would like included in your Spotlight?
Ms. Sarah Natale, Media Specialist at Sligo MS, is a certified yoga instructor. Ms. 每个学期Natale都会带我上几次正念瑜伽课. Mr. 以赛亚·钱伯斯先生. 穆萨Cherif, Sligo MS的指导顾问, do 正念 activities to help students relax and calm down. 两位咨询师都鼓励在解决学生的担忧之前使用呼吸技巧来安抚他们. Mr. Chambers had a 正念 Staff Meeting for staff. Staff were able to pick their activities from yoga, to coloring and sport's activities to being part of a quiet reading room.
